I have lost 17-18lbs in a little over 2 1/2 months. Muscularity is getting better, but I'm trying to figure out what I should shoot for. I want to have a very athletic look, like the guys on the covers of Men's Health. I'm roughly 5' 11", and I see those stupid bodyweight charts that that the m...

fiance is currently exercising and eating timely with good portions, but she is getting discouraged with her weight on the scale. Her and I have noticed physical changes from the resistance training(flatter stomach, toning up arms, and thigh reduction). I'm trying to inform her that she is probably...

Yeah, running shoes are very important things. I took advice from a co-worker about getting proper footwear on a regular basis. People don't really know this, but the lifespan of shoes aren't years more like months depending on how long or hard you tax them. Nike- 3 months Adidas- 3-6 months Asics- ...

You can, with good results lose 5-10 pounds a month if you do it right, but that is kind of up for interpretation, and your commitment. Some people will just start hitting up cardio and try to start eating healthy, and will see some results for like 6 weeks, and then they hit the wall, and I think t...

yeah, gradually increase in calories has to be done, or you'll find yourself doing two things - gaining alot of mass and then having to trim the fat. Waterbury workouts will add a whole lot of volume and spike growth due to the weight amounts you will use. Mass takes time, you need to climb the ladd...

You already have a good amount of muscle mass on you, bro. So you definitely can benefit from trying to find a good mix of nutrition and exercise. Weight loss is your goal I think I'm trying to read into. Forget about high reps/long cardio sessions and focus more on nutrition and keeping well hydrat...

Yeah, I could go in the morning but it would have to be 6:30am, and I don't think I could train on an empty stomach. I might be able to do cardio in the mornings. I'm on a 1-2lb a week weight loss trend lately, but I've just started training differently about a week ago. I'm just curious if at one t...

I'm curious if a small weak link in the program is this ... I get home at different times through out the week, some times 6pm or 9pm. CAR SALE JOBS suck for working out, but it beats looking like fellow salesman, haha. Usually I'm hitting the gym around the 9:30 time every night, workout for a hour...

Swans, thanks for the help. It is a little tough to get her to train earlier during the week due to the fact that she works until 6pm and doesn't get home until 7pm. So I don't know if there is a way to compensate nutrition around this variable. I'm going to stress the workouts with her, I think we ...

Meal plan Meal 1 - Grape Nuts Cereal or some high fiber cereal, orange Meal 2 - Celery and Natural Peanut Butter Meal 3 - Chicken Breast, Brown Rice or Potato, Salad Meal 4 - Protein Shake/Meal Replacement w/ apple Meal 5 - Dinner - I usually make something with chicken, lean beef, or fish - whole g...

I'm a big fan of MET-RX Protein Plus and EAS Pro-Complex. They are simple matrix proteins with Glut. that don't have these huge claims stamped all over their packaging. Now for taste, nothing beats Muscle Milk!!!! A good, but very expensive brand to use is Beverly International. Beverly is such a gr...

girlfriend is trying to change her body composition like myself. We are trying to support each other with it, but I'm getting all this success and her efforts aren't really seeing results as fast as mine. The first hurdle I had to overcome with her is spreading her calories over 5-6 meals a day, wh...

Read through it, very enlightening. I see that routines are routines, but first you have to set a goal either it being weight loss, running a marathon, running a 4.4 40 yard dash, martial arts - I see where I made mistakes. Just set goals and achieve them. Well weight loss is the #1 thing on mind no...

Ok, I'm not a novice when it comes to exercise and lifting weights - but I just need an outside opinion in regards to trying to reach goal. I used to work at a fitness club for a couple years and have always been an active person, athlete, whatever you want to call it. But now I have a goal of getti...
